Oct. 7, 2026: It was a successful Homecoming Week for Bronxville athletic teams, with plenty of action on the fields throughout the week. Football, field hockey and both soccer teams all picked up Homecoming victories, while the cross country teams now turn their attention to one of the largest meets of the season. With the regular season winding down, the Broncos are entering an important stretch of fall competition.

In addition to the action on the field, the week included many traditional Homecoming festivities, including the community food truck night, the high school bonfire, and the community pep rally, where all varsity teams were introduced. Throughout the weekend, the Bronco Barn was serving food, while Bronco apparel and gear were being sold during each game.

In the win over Valhalla on Saturday night, just about every Bronco saw playing time. Quarterback Theo McMurray completed 13 of 15 passes for 280 yards and five touchdowns and also ran for a score. Cole Zarba and Grant Patterson each scored two touchdowns, while Charlie Atkinson and Liam Marcus each added one.
